It's not really that much of a secret, and you'll probably agree with most of it.

Smaller gears, figure out the line lock, buy some et Fronts, throw the nitrous back on in moderation. Then make the rest of the car to match. With skinnies up front, I won't be doing any hard turns anyway; might as well pull off the front sway bar and strut tower bar at least temporarily to see what happens.
Practice.

Used to happen on the street too when I went WOT but the Tick fixed that. No problems shifting on street during a WOT run after tick

Seems like a 9" is perfect, I will never make 700hp. at most I would want 450 rwhp but right now 400rwhp is my goal.

I don't think I'm going to the track for a while unless it's another group thing so I think I will get 4.10's and SFCs next. or 4.10's and a re-tune. then a clutch
If you have problems hitting 3rd you might want to try changing the way you shift. I had a bad problem missing 3rd before I changed, but it fixed my problem. If you pistol grip the shifter from 2-3 (like you do for the 1-2 shift) you will miss 3rd 75% of the time. When you're going for 3rd, don't grip the shifter, push it into 3rd with your palm. This will fix missing 3rd for most people.

That car must have had a easy life for a stock clutch to make it 90+!

I remember I had to learn to drive mine all over again when I put a good clutch in mine. It was like a totally different car at the track.

Mills Motors in south Shreveport. They actually knew what the stuff I brought them was. Josh referred them to me, I'm sure he'll chime in. They do great work.

No I don't agree with it and I will explain why. First, I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish. Not because you didn't state it but because I can't see a clear cut path you are trying to make. Second, I thought your runs suffered the most in the first 60ft of the track. Nothing you are telling me you want to do is going to help that much, some could even hurt it. If you un-gear the car, and spray it, your mph will go up, and you'll still be in the 12s. I know you may not believe me but thats how it will prolly go down.

Go ahead and ban me. You can't ban me from the track or the street and the next time you line up with the ol girl not only will you be looking at the rear end of my car you will have to squint I'll be so damn far ahead.

Is that enough for an infraction or should I keep talking

Just can't give some people in this world this much authority. They start abusing it and using it for mutual gains

Maybe you should look at the vid a lil bit closer. I reeled you in alot so I wouldn't be bragging too much about a new cammed LS6 beating a lil ol 70k mile cammed LS1. Hell you got new everything. That's what it took for you to finally beat me and even then I had to go to a 10 bolt just for that extra boost. I'm glad you finally made it in the 11's 2yrs after I did. I congratulate you and you still try to rub it in. Enjoy your moment while it lasts. I'll smile and take it cause I'm not a sore loser. This is a game that will always be played, but I've always said that you (meaning anyone anywhere) will only beat me once. I'll leave it at that.

I looked at the traps in the 8th, we (me, hilton, and josh) were all at about 90 mph. So it would be an even race till then. After that, advantage goes to the M6 obviously.

Oh and roll or a dig doesn't matter. You know I'm not scared. You also better know that my reaction time had a lot to do with me being overly cautious about my rear end. I didn't want to tow my car home. I know without a doubt when my car is properly setup again I'll tree your *** and you'll be behind once again. But until then, gloat and brag............it's expected
